FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Samba OG is classified as a lifestyle trainer and lacks the technical cushioning and arch support required for long-distance running.
How do I determine the correct size?
The Samba OG generally fits true to size. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size to accommodate the leather structure.
Can these be put in the washing machine?
It is strongly advised against putting leather trainers in a washing machine, as it can cause the leather to crack and the adhesive to degrade.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
They provide standard support, but if you have high arches, you may consider adding an aftermarket insole for additional comfort.
Are they suitable for wider feet?
The low-profile design is relatively slim. Individuals with wider feet may find that the leather takes longer to stretch and conform comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the upper leather
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creasing.
Stiff leather feel during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally soften and contour to your foot.
Difficulty cleaning the grip pattern
Use an old toothbrush dampened with a mild soap solution to gently scrub the debris out of the rubber treads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OGs last as long as possible, proper care is essential. Since they are crafted from leather, avoid submerging them in water. Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt or surface stains. For the rubber outsole, a damp cloth is usually sufficient to restore the grip pattern. When lacing, ensure you do not overtighten the laces across the bridge of the foot to maintain comfort. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or discolouration.
